Education Minister John |O'Dowd said: “With the rising cost of energy, it is imperative that renewable alternatives are sought and fully utilised whenever possible.

“Project SCool is a practical example of innovative thinking and investment that will also lead to shared financial and environmental benefits for both Dungannon Integrated College and Greiner Packaging.”

His department provided £58,000 towards the scheme.

Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster said: “Project SCool is an example of this commitment to innovation. Not only is Greiner meeting its own energy efficiency needs and reducing its carbon footprint, but Dungannon Integrated College is benefiting from a highly efficient heat supply that has reduced the school's overheads.”
